When I was on an anime kick last year, I set my browser up so all the Japanese text on the pages would come up in Japanese. I can't read Japanese, but at least having all the right fonts and options set I get the text to fit in the boxes, and I can sometimes even paste it into a translator and get something back that's readable. (surf surf surf) Funny, I thought I remembered this page being in English last time I came by. (surf more) Hmmm... that's odd, I know this one used to be in English. Did I leave out an "en" in the URL? No... (tweak, tweak, turn off Japanese in the preferences...) Oh, that's better. (poke, tweak) Oh. Cripes.
